of other varieties, and it is of itself an excellent cider 

 fruit. 



Its name has originated, no doubt, from the appear- 

 ance of its fruit when highly ripened, resembling that of 

 a crop of very ripe Seville Oranges. There are trees 

 now to be found 100 years old ; but where it originated 

 cannot be ascertained. 



It has been supposed by some that the Orange Pippin 

 was brought from Normandy to the Isle of Wight, and 

 that the first of the kind was planted in the garden of 

 Wraxhall Cottage, near the under cliff, where it was 

 growing in 18 17.

fruit above the middle size, pretty round, without 

 angles ; but sometimes it is rather oval. Crown but 

 little hollow. Eye small, with short reflexed segments 

 of the calyx. Skin dull muddy olive-green, a good deal 

 reticulated with a fine network. Stalk three quarters 

 of an inch long, slender, causing the fruit to be pen- 

 dent.

Many trees of the Pawsan are found in the south- 

 east or Ryeland district of Herefordshire, which have 

 apparently stood more than a century. Its pulp is ex- 

 ceedingly rich and yellow, and in some seasons it affords 

 cider of the very finest quality. Its name cannot be 

 traced to any probable source. 



208. RED MUST. Pom. Heref. t. 4. 



Fruit nearly, if not quite, the largest cider apple cul- 

 tivated in Herefordshire. It is rather broad and flattish, 

 a little irregular at its base, which is hollow. Stalk 

 slender. Crown sunk. Eye deep, with a stout erect 

 calyx. Skin greenish yellow on the shaded side, with 

 a deep rosy colour where exposed to the sun, and shaded 

 with a darker red.
